Default Corsa Exhaust

Is 500 dollars a good price for new corsa exhaust? Also, how is the sound compared to borla...etc? I am looking for a real aggressive sound.

Depends on what you are buying. If it is a complete Cat back system, your getting a steal! :cheers:

I like the sound of the Corsa. For $500 it's a good buy since the forum mall is showing $825 for new.

Like mentioned above, $500 is a steal if it is the whole cat back system.

Being a Corsa dealer and knowing how much the cost even at the really deep deal, you are not going to get it for near that! No one is in business to loose money...

Just received my new corsa exhaust. I ended up paying 500 even. This included shipping. The guy I bought them from messed up on an internet order and his wife was going to kill him if he did not recope some money back. Anyway, I have another question. I want to do long tube headers with no cats. What type of modification am I up against or is it just best to gut the cats and install the system friom cats back? What is the best header to use?

It's going to have to be a custom job to hook up the headers to the stock exhaust if you get LTH shorties bolt up, I think.

Remember that there are two different Corsa systems for C4's.... 92-95 are slightly different from the '96 version due to the O2 sensors.

DRM headers bolt up to the exhaust system after the cats so its a bolt on. They run about 900 bucks but they are all stainless steel.

DRM is no longer making the headers for some reason of not selling enough.

I just put Hooker long tube headers on. Overall, the project took about 8 hours from the time I put it on the lift until I drove away. The factory cats will not fit behind the headers. Going cat-less is pretty easy. It just takes some minor custom work to get the collectors to meet up with the corsa system. Maybe I can get pictures done later this week. Good luck.
